Whoo I sorta like how this one came out. Still yet again just practice with trying to make convincing water. I don't find this "convincing" necessarily however, I was focusing more on the dynamics of ripples and the effect it would have on objects underneath it. Turned out kind of okay I think. I was very unloyal to the natural colors of koi fish though haha, for shame keia, for shame. Can't get enough of that bubble gum array of colors, go figure.

If there's anyone out there who's found effective ways of rendering good water, PLEASE critique. :heart:

0.0 EEee! So many colours! *paws at fishies* They sertainatly look as though they are floating in something, though its a little dificult to see the actual surface of the water besides that one ripple, even still water has reflections of whatever's above it, the shadow of the bucket casting over the edge closest the source and the rest showing a ligher reflection, unless you use a polerising lense you get this effect every time (I know, I've had to photograph my dad's fish when he wanted to sell them its very hard to get a picky that looks right with it, especialy when they insist on moving all the time >.< )

LET'S TRY GRINDING ON IT.
I always love the vividness of the colors you choose, and that's a pretty blue~ my fave color~

As for water/ripple rendering, um, I cheat and use plugins 'cause I'm unspecial. :s And I'm thinking you're not one to do things the lazy easy way like that. ^-^;;
XD yea I wanna make it myself. *strange like that*
